I Must not lose this occasion of Returning you My hearty Thanks, for the great [...]roofs you continue to give Me of your Zeal and Resolution to Support and Assist Me, in the Vigorous Prosecution of the War against France next Year; and I Assure you it shall be My greatest Care that the Assistances you give Me may be so Applied, as to Render them most Effectual for the Ends you design them: but I must take Notice to you at the same time, with some trouble, that the New year is already come, while Our Preparations [...]r it are not only more backward; but those of Our Enemies, as We have reason to think, in greater forwardness then they were the last Year: I find My Self therefore Necessitated from this Considera­tion, most earnestly to Recommend to you, Gentlemen of the House of Commons, the Hastning of such further Supplies as you design to Enable Me with, for the Prosecution of the War.
